Summary
- Rascal Flatts members prioritize Ohio State football game dates for tour planning.
- Two band members, Gary LeVox and Jay Demarcus, hail from Columbus, Ohio.
- The band celebrates game days by parking buses together and watching OSU play.

Rascal Flatts, a country music band with strong ties to Columbus, Ohio, has revealed that their tour itineraries are carefully coordinated with the Ohio State Buckeye's football schedule. The band's members, including lead singer Gary LeVox and bassist Jay Demarcus, were born and raised in Columbus, fostering a lifelong passion for the Buckeyes.
This deep connection to their hometown team extends even while they are on the road. LeVox shared that when the Buckeyes play on a Saturday, the band often parks their tour buses together, turning it into a communal viewing party. They describe the experience as akin to being at the actual stadium, complete with tailgating rituals.
The band's dedication was highlighted in a recent video shared by Fox's Big Noon Kickoff, just before a significant game against Michigan. This strategic scheduling underscores the enduring importance of Ohio State football in the lives of these Columbus-raised musicians.
